    Nope. I gave in though. I ordered the sweatshirt.
    I thought it was 2008 or 2009?

    I saw a t-shirt I liked this week. This one:

    Sorry Spirit.

    Where is the "that went over my head smilie"?

    It's a man's t-shirt with a lyric on from Steve Miller Band's the Joker.

    It made me laugh because a man can wear it and it also subliminally says "some call me the gangster of love". However it has to be worn with a certain degree of confidence because another lyric is some people call me the space cowboy...

    ETA: ok, that's weird, I went in to edit my post as it said Sorry Spirit in Spirit's quote, then it posted it a second time. It is like I'm repeating myself. Very strange.

    2.5 kids with bad coughs tonight and not-entirely cough-free myself. I do like getting a good nights sleep before going back to work. :(

    Lydiaj, ever thought of a pencil?

    Most pencils don't make dark enough marks on the kind of coarse newsprint-y paper that they make crossword books out of. Of course, I could try a 3B pencil or something, but then it would need sharpening all the time, and I'd lose it, whereas there are always pens around the house somewhere.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Poor you, all of you.

    I feel annoyed I put so much effort to prep for the clock change ( that's when it all started feeling too much for me last year) and then ruined it by sleepin through the day and being up at night with the food poisoning. I am feeling quite sleepy tonight so might well be on track anyway. I really wish they would just leave the clicks alone. I think i can cope fine pretending they don 't exist, but the train for dh demands I respect time for that.

    I used to always right with soft pencils, but I agree, not great for newsaper. I will right with anything, but getting pens right for oneself is a peculiarly exciting pleasure.

    I like very fine felt tips, rather childishly in shades of purple and green. I also like gel pens that write in multicolours:o. But they are hard to find. I like fine writing scratchy biros too, but really good scratchy ones aren't commonly found. I tend to write quite 'tight' and spidery, fine pens suit.

    Now you have told me I recognise the lyrics. Thanks
